Grant DePorter, the Harry Caray’s exec who bought the “Bartman ball” at auction for $113,824.16. He later destroyed it so it would not bring more bad luck to the Cubs. He is seen here with Dutchie Caray (left) at his side after he he handed a check to Julie Stoklosa, a representative of the auction house who brought the ball to the restaurant on December 19, 2003.
